Best Internet sites:

• ORB: The Online Reference Book for Medieval Studies: Primary and secondary resources from medieval scholars. This site includes original articles, graphics links, links to full text documents, and to other sites for culture of the Middle Ages. Try the ORB Encyclopedia. It also includes Fordham University's Internet Medieval Sourcebook, which has primary sources.
• The Labyrinth: Resources for Medieval Studies: Huge, searchable list of links
• The British Museum's Ancient Greece site.
• Teaching the Middle East: A Resource for Educators
• Of course you can search Google for more websites, but you can save time and effort by searching netTrekker, which can give you fewer but better sources. Note: Because netTrekker is a search engine like Google, NOT a database, it does not count as a database. Anything you find with netTrekker will count toward your internet sources.
